Back-to-school season is exciting...and a lot.🍎✨ Whether you need a quick teacher brain break between classes or a calming creative activity for students…

this simple Model Magic donut challenge is the perfect reset.🍩 [Thanks to Visual Arts Consultant Shannon Green for the inspo & Project Manager Kristin Mumford for the demo!] All you need: 🀍 One small packet of white Model Magic πŸ–οΈ Markers πŸ’­ A little imagination Color the clay by drawing on it with markers, then knead the color in until you get the perfect shade. Add more marker for deeper colors, shape your donut, decorate it, and let it dry overnight. Before you know it, you'll have a sweet little creation, and maybe even a whole collection! Beyond being fun, this tactile activity supports focus, self-regulation, creativity, and fine motor skills, making it a great addition to any classroom or a five-minute desk break. Looking to take it a step further? You could absolutely use this as a tool in your arts-integrated classroom. We’ve used it in math lessons with #addition, #subtraction, #fractions, and more! How could you integrate this into your teaching? #ArtsIntegration #TeacherBrainBreak #BackToSchool #CreativeClassroom #TeacherIdeas #ClassroomCreativity #ModelMagic #MathIdeas
